Lyxor-Monthly European ETF Market Trends August 2017
August 9, 2017--European ETF market flows were remained steady in July. Net New Assets (NNA) over the month totalled EUR8.7bn. Total ETF Assets under Management are up 13% vs. the end of 2016, reaching EUR583bn and including a positive market impact of 2%. Assets in emerging market and fixed income ETFs shrank significantly as investors awakened to a potentially hawkish Fed and ECB.
Equity ETFs inflows reached EUR5.5bn. As the eurozone continued to enjoy strong economic growth, European equity ETF inflows saw their second highest month of inflows year to date of EUR3.4bn, representing two thirds of overall equity inflows. US equity ETF inflows continued to recover reaching EUR774M, helped by the weakening USD and a strong earnings season, in particular in the tech sector. Flows into Asia Pacific equity ETFs slowed down to EUR301M as PM Abe and Japan's Abenomics were challenged. Global ETF inflows continued to decelerate, to EUR253M as global monetary normalisation took centre stage and unsettled markets. This also negatively impacted emerging market equity ETF flows, reduced to EUR306M, their lowest level in 6 months. Once again, these flows were almost exclusively focused on broad-based ETFs, rather than single countries. Smart Beta ETF inflows amounted to EUR253M, in line with the one year average. Flows were mainly focused on factor allocation strategies, namely multifactor ETFs and value ETFs.
